District describes CTE and CTSO activity; 21 OSPI program applications pending
Summary
A district presenter reviewed Career and Technical Education programming and student organization activity, new classes and worksite learning options, and said there are 21 applications to OSPI for program renewals or revitalizations.
A district presenter (speaker 5) briefed the board on Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO), describing recent student participation and program developments. The presenter listed organizations such as DECA, FBLA, FFA, SkillsUSA and TSA, highlighted fundraising and events, and thanked the board for travel support.
The presenter said, "We have 21 applications into OSPI right now for either, revitalized or to renew," describing those submissions as program renewals or revitalizations that are under review. He also described new worksite learning classes tied to IT and other applied programs and noted teacher staffing levels (three middle-school CTE teachers, 14 high-school CTE teachers) and two upcoming vacancies.
Board members asked clarifying questions about the OSPI return rate for applications and whether any were likely to be declined; the presenter said denials are rare and generally arise from technical errors or oversights. The presenter also praised improvements in dual-credit coordination with local college partners and described hands-on student work (welding platform, tool-room organization) that supports career-readiness.
